ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System XF - Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas
The ICD-10-PCS root operations within the New Technology section for the Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas focus on advanced procedural techniques. Specifically, Destruction (code XF5) involves physically eradicating all or part of a body part using energy, force, or destructive agents, while Inspection (code XFJ) entails visually or manually exploring these organs.
The Destruction operation targets diseased tissue in the liver, bile ducts, gallbladder, or pancreas by applying methods designed to remove pathological cells without traditional excision. Conversely, the Inspection operation is used diagnostically to examine these structures closely, aiding in evaluating conditions. These codes capture the specialized nature of procedures performed on the hepatobiliary system and pancreas using novel technologies, emphasizing precision in both therapeutic destruction and diagnostic evaluation. Understanding and applying these codes appropriately ensures accurate reporting of new technological interventions within this complex body system.
